British teenager Laura Robson progressed to the third round of the Australian Open girls' championship after beating the 11th seed, Yulia Putintseva, in three sets today.

Robson, who reached the final at the tournament last year, defeated the 15-year-old Russian 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 in one hour and 40 minutes. She will play Romania's Cristina Dinu in the next round tomorrow.

The 16-year-old will also play in the quarter-finals of the women's doubles on Wednesday alongside Australia's Sally Peers. The pair only teamed on the eve of the tournament after Peers' original partner, Isabella Holland, withdrew due to injury. They will play the 15th seeds, Agnieszka Radwanska and Maria Kirilenko.

Meanwhile, there was also success for Great Britain's No1 boys' singles player, Oliver Golding, who came from a set down to beat Ireland's Sam Barry 7-6 (10-8), 6-3, 6-4. Golding will play Australian wildcard James Duckworth in the third round.
